The Apathy Effect Exhibit Opens October 3!

“Apathy: disregarding the suffering of others

Empathy: actively responding to the suffering of others”

Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles will host The Apathy Effect Exhibit on October 3-5, 2017. Admission is free and both self-guided and guided tours of the exhibit are available with online registration.

The Apathy Effect Exhibit is the creation of iEmpathize, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and eradication of child exploitation. The exhibit is a multi-media, immersive event, and includes film, photography and artifacts. Participants experience the stories of human trafficking survivors, and are empowered to move away from the apathy that fuels exploitation into a new state of awareness, empathy and, hopefully, active engagement.

“Because we all intersect with child exploitation, whether directly or indirectly, each of us has a responsibility to act. We help people identify how and where they intersect with this issue and equip them with tools and opportunities to respond.”

Hidden Tears Project

Hidden Tears is a media company that partners with non-profits across the country to raise consciousness through media on gender inequality, sexual abuse, and human trafficking, all of which are intrinsically connected.
